Baldon Wind Farm

My first hope is the government soon wake up to the dissection of food producing farmland. The second is they are voted out for a government with some sense . Im not yet of voting age but when I am I be vey carful who I support. The industrialisation of food producing Agriculture land is just crap. Machines do not produce food. Generational farmer do its in their bones. They are in farming for quality not quantity.

I’m worried about the increased traffic accidents with so many construction vehicles on our roads. The turbines will ruin the view, and the noise will drive away visitors who come to enjoy our beautiful town. We’re a small town with a big heart, and this project will destroy the wide open 380 degree views. the night sky will never be the same. We’re not prepared for the changes it will bring. Bisphenol A is a known endocrine disruptor. It’s not safe for anyone, especially growing children.

Bisphenol A could seep into our rivers and destroy aquatic life, including vulnerable fish and bird species. This project doesn’t benefit the locals, but we’ll bear all the risks, the costs , the eye-saw an and the worry.

I'm a young energetic rural person. I think the industrialisation of agriculture will reduce work availability in the area. The construction will be fly in fly out workers. These project offer nothing substantial for our some rural town.

This is not energy generation this is a train wreck waiting to happen. The mental hardship upon community member is obvious.
The monies thrown at land owner is disgusting, Unrefuse-able amounts. All reliable sources of energy generation should be considered. this thing that only RE will by the best is ridiculous .

I feel wind turbine corporations, AEMO, AER, NEM are a financial scam where Australians are not being told the truth because Jim Chalmers is refusing to publicly reveal the corruption findings that were discovered under his predecessor, Josh Frydenberg (https://theklaxon.com.au/chalmers-gives-frydenberg-free-pass-over-asic-report-stitch-up/). Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, who promised transparency in his government is not doing anything about these ASIC (Australian Securities and Investment Commissioner) corruption findings. (https://www.sydneysun.com/news/274402407/albanese-government-covers-for-coalition-in-asic-corruption-probe) Therefore, because wind turbine corporations, AEMO, AER, NEM AND Marinus Link are all under ASIC, wind turbines and Marinus Links are FINANCIAL products rather than "energy" products that will NOT do what the wind turbine corporations, Marinus Link, local Councils, State and Federal Government say they will do. See the below links:

https://abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View?abn=99094836263 - Renewable Energy Company Pty Ltd (just one example of an "energy" corporation under ASIC (Australian Securities and Investment Commission), which again, makes wind turbines a FINANCIAL product rather than an "energy" product and nothing more than an extremely dodgy scam that is NOT good for Australia or Australian constituents who are being forced to pay for this SCAM against their will. https://drive.proton.me/urls/PBF6F01YT4#KFBhKnUpaSeX

"Taxpayers are entitled to know they are getting value for money from the billions of dollars being spent on projects to enable a transition to lower-emissions energy. Those responsible must not be allowed to write their own rules or forgo the widest possible consultation with those who represent the electricity users and taxpayers who ultimately must pay the bill. This is why FOI documents that detail the extent to which energy planners will go to shape how projects are scrutinised make sobering reading. The Australian Energy Market Operator has sought permission to break the rules and modify outside scrutiny for two crucial transmission line assets, the HumeLink and VNI West projects."

This does not even include the fact that wind turbines and their too high voltage transmission lines are such a fire hazard that firefighters will NOT go near the wind turbines or the transmission lines to put out the fires that start on them because they are too dangerous. (https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2024-06-19/cfa-renewables-protest-volunteer-firefighters-transmission-lines/103995318)

Or the fact that wind turbines are extremely harmful to biodiversity and and refugia areas - https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2024/08/05/environmentalists-call-out-double-standards-between-farmers-and-wind-farms/

Or the fact that wind turbines cause negative health effects and suffering due to infrasound noise:
https://stopthesethings.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/schmidt-klokker-wtn-health-effects-2014.pdf
https://docs.wind-watch.org/Schmidt-Klokker-Tables.html

Wind turbines also cause crashes with small aircraft: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/620bb596e90e0710aa4b69f3/Piper_PA-22-150_G-ARDS_03-22.pdf

I also object because these wind turbines are being forced upon Australian constituents in numerous communities against their will, even though they have very clearly and soundly said NO! to wind turbines AND to Marinus Link:
https://drive.proton.me/urls/PBF6F01YT4#KFBhKnUpaSeX
https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/landholders-blocking-transgrids-humelink-transmission-line-receive-ultimatum-as-forced-land-acquisitions-loom/news-story/36a6218781f3ed4c5eac498318a88d38

Therefore, I DO NOT CONSENT to this wind turbine project or ANY other wind turbine project ANYWHERE in Australia.

I Object to Baldon Wind so called ‘farm’ as it does not provide a reliable energy source.
It will destroy the natural environment & in the nuclear age in the near future will become detritus & will have to be removed at great expense to the Local Community, with the toxic Wind Turbine Blades not being able to be recycled.

These Wind ‘farms’ may appear to be of financial benefit to those who accommodate them but they risk being responsible for their extremely costly removal.
Hundreds of others will be negatively affected with pylons & cables criss-crossing adjacent lands.
The destruction of the environment will be significant & our iconic landscapes will be destroyed.

If we are to do away with Coal & Gas, the only reliable energy source is Nuclear.
When the powers that be realise that we are living in the Nuclear age & wish to remain an advanced country, much of what is planned for Moulamein/the South West & other districts will become obsolete.
The district will be stuck with the environmental vandalism caused by Government (taxpayer’s) heavily subsidised ‘renewable’ energy installations.

Baldon Industrialised Wind Electricity Generating Works & incapable Battery Energy Storage System is an extremely destructive, disingenuous plan with a contaminating lifecycle that is not one bit clean, green or sustainable.
Being weather dependent is useless, only ensuring it will NEVER provide reliable, cheap power on demand.
Australians need far superior 24/7 Australian power with a minimal environmental footprint.

Baldon Wind Electricity Generating Works + BESS has no social licence as it is a horrible, dangerous, extremely toxic, unhealthy & totally useless plan that is a complete waste of public money as it will never provide secure, reliable, affordable power.

Baldon Wind & BESS is a dreadful plan - designed to create toxic contamination & fires, deprive Australian people of power, cost us a motzer & never be cleaned up.

I OBJECT to this horrible Baldon Wind Electricity Generating Works with 180 ugly, destructive, short-term Turbines & contaminating BESS Fire Hazard - that would only ever work part-time & will create a massive pile of toxic waste that is ruining Australia.

Baldon Wind & BESS is part of the most obscene, non-sensical, ruinable plans for Australia, destroying our precious biodiversity & ecology, contaminating our essential Agricultural land & water supplies & seriously harming Australian people & our children’s future forever with toxic junk & energy deprivation.

Baldon Wind + BESS is a despicable, diabolical plan designed to rip-off the Australian public with CONtrolling Energy Poverty.
Nobody in their right mind would rely on the weather for their Electricity Grid & wreck our children’s future by making Australia weak - beholden to the CCP - our most hostile enemy!

Ugly Industrialised Wind Electricity Generating Works & Battery Energy Storage hazards will NEVER provide reliable, affordable Australian power which is an essential service for the people of NSW.
Depending on the weather means they are flaky, a very silly idea & DON’T WORK most of the time.
This toxic contaminating plan DOES NOT belong on essential, irreplaceable Food growing land at all as irreversible environmental harm will inevitably occur & our children’s Energy Security & Food Security future will be ruined forever.

Bisphenol A is a known endocrine disruptor. It’s not safe for anyone, especially growing children. I do not give permission for myself, my family or any future children to be exposed to this neurotoxin. This is definite going to create physical and mental problems. This endocrine disrupting chemical is a hazard to every living creature human and animal. it will eventually wash into water ways. it will become part of our food chain.

This project will destroy the natural beauty of the area. Once it's gone, we can never get it back. Wildlife species already on the brink of extinction will be further endangered by this development. The turbines will be a permanent eyesore just out of town that has always prided itself on its natural charm. This project will flood our small town with workers and outsiders, changing the fabric of our community. The turbines will bring environmental destruction, and the gains from the project won’t benefit our community. We live here to escape city life, not to live in an industrial zone filled with wind turbines. I’m worried about the long-term environmental damage. Who will clean up the mess when the turbines are no longer in use? Our town is built on agriculture not turbines!

I Object to Baldon Wind Electricity Generating Works & BESS on a 46,266ha site, as I am extremely concerned for the great loss of farming land and land for animal life!
When we lose endangered animals they are gone!

I also feel farmers are not protected from malpractice when they lease their land to big companies. My information tells me that their contracts do not protect farmers from having to dispose later of any waste.
The Government must responsibly ensure that overseas investors do not contribute to the waste challenges we already have, but as it stands this has not been adequately put in place at all.

I am very unhappy that there is no opportunity for open debate on this inferior, destructive, renewable energy disaster that will change the life of all Australians for the worse.
The fact is that wind ‘farms’ will not bring enough energy to supply ordinary Australians. They have not been proven to deliver continuous supply - 30% efficient is not good enough!
Battery Energy Storage Systems are horrible, incapable, short term & extremely hazardous.

The fact is energy costs will rise for ordinary, already struggling householders.

The spin is: ‘ It looks good’.... NO!!!! NOT TRUE!!!
‘The sound does not affect people’….. UNTRUE!!!
‘Farmers are in for a good deal’ ….. NOT AT ALL!!!

Baldon Wind Electricity Generating Works + BESS is a totally objectional, parasitic, Environmentally Destructive, life threatening Fire Risk that is useless, weather dependent & a toxic contamination disaster - against the best interests of Australia.

IT’S WELL PAST TIME THAT GULLIBLE SOUTH-WEST COUNCILS WAKE UP TO REALITY - DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE & OBJECT TO ALL THIS ECOCIDAL, ENERGY POVERTY RUBBISH!

Who is the Baldon Wind Farm Pty Ltd APPLICANT? Betcha they’re yet another ‘SHELL’ Company with about $2 in the Bank - NEVER responsible for cleaning up any of their Toxic contaminating JUNK - whilst the Fake Green Gravy Train rips off Australian Energy Consumers - funnelling outrageous subsidies to the CCP’s Goldwind.

I DO NOT CONSENT to our Public Funds being wasted by stupid bureaucrats, socialist zealots & greedy Vested Interests on such Filthy, Toxic, Pathetic, Fake Green, Incapable, Weather Dependent, Intermittent RenewaBULL JUNK like this illogical, FIRE HAZARDOUS, CCP Reliant BALDON WIND SWINDLE FACTORY + FITHY BESS.

AUSTRALIA’S ENERGY SECURITY - FOOD SECURITY - NATIONAL SECURITY NECESSITATES INDEPENDENT, RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE, EFFICIENT, PLENTIFUL, SECURE, 24/7 AUSTRALIAN COAL, GAS & A CLEAN, SAFE NUCLEAR POWER FUTURE WITH MINIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT - NO INTERCONNECTOR NIGHTMARE NEEDED!!

Little rural country town are too small for such a large-scale project. It’s overwhelming and unnecessary. We will get no long term benefits. The cash splash will be short lived and of no benefit to the community. Please consider the implication for our town and vote against this project
